Big feet
Went into town today, by train, in search of a larger pair of walking boots. The ones I bought about two months ago are now uncomfortable. They squash my toes. As the back shrinks, the feet enlarge.
My train ticket was £3.80; I paid by cash and gave the chap a ten pound note and 80p in coins to make the maths easier and to lighten my purse. He gave me the tickets, a five pound note and a one pound coin. Have you given me the right change? I asked. He looked slightly flummoxed and got out a calculator to subtract £3.80 from £10.80. His use of the calculator was better than his maths and he gave me another one pound coin attributing his mistake to the coins I had given him. What makes life easy for one person doesn't necessarily do so for another.
Thought for today
It is the nature of gardening that we will always be in for a failure or two. Success in this matter--or what some people refer to as green fingers--is usually nothing more than keeping your eyes open.
